How I Learned to Channel, Part 4 of 4

pendulumA couple of years later, I learned Dowsing for Health-Happiness-Harmony, which gives a format of up to 13 basic questions developed by Anneliese Gabriele Hagemann to clarify and resolve the root cause of any issue or imbalance.

I know people usually think of dowsing in terms of finding where to drill water wells, a very useful skill, but dowsing is actually an umbrella term for getting a clear “yes” or “no” signal in response to a question.

I was working diligently with this new tool to improve my life experience, having been accurately told “It’s like a muscle. The more you use it, the better you’ll get with it.”

Only I had started to hear words in response to my questions, words I wanted to make sure I’d hear right.

So I dowsed on the accuracy of each word as it came, one at a time, until I finally heard, “Just put the pen down and write.”

And so I did.

Eventually, I began sharing this ability with others whenever it seemed the best way to help them deal with life challenges, and when it has seemed helpful for groups of people overall to hear particular messages from non-physical beings.

I still look to additional forms of intuition to cross-check for accuracy, and to specific feedback from observers for confirmation.

Yet I know that being all of who I am includes being “the messenger,” and I have come to love it.

I get to learn and feel so much that I wouldn’t otherwise.

And to see the positive impact this has on others is the best part of all!

So it is deeply satisfying and exciting to me to be able to share the channeling in my first two books, The Third Mary: 55 Messages for Empowering Truth, Peace & Grace from the Mother of Mary Magdalene, and Goddess Heart Rising: Paintings, Poems & Meditations for Activating Your Divine Potential, my in-person intuitive work, and through whatever additional means my larger self requests of me.

So please – comment, question, request topics. The “messenger” in me needs you too – to learn and grow and satisfy my sense of purpose by serving the larger good.

And commit to, uncover and build upon your own innate gifts, to increase your own sense of purpose, and benefit the rest of us too!

How I Learned to Channel, Part 3 of 4

smiling man 1I know a common question people have with channeling is “How do you know it’s not just you?”

When you use your ability to sense energy, you can clearly tell when the energy is not your own. You may share information you couldn’t possibly have known, verablize things in a much different way than usual, use mannerisms and expressions distinctly different to those around you, whose feedback can be confirming.

In the healing session I described in my previous post, I was given a message to share (I always ask – is this message for this person? And if so, is it for me to share it with him or her?) that I absolutely did NOT want to give.

Yet it was made clear to me that my job was to deliver it.

With a tightly clenched throat, at the session’s completion, I told this man what I had seen and heard.

To my surprise, he didn’t bat an eyelash. He simply nodded his head, taking it in.

A year later, he told me that hearing this message was one of the two best things that had happened that year, the other being meeting the woman who later became his wife.

So it was a healing for me too. I learned to not judge the messages, simply do my part by delivering them with positive intent, as clearly as I could, and to consistently deliver them.

But I certainly wasn’t going looking for messages, except those related to healing myself on all levels.

Please check in tomorrow for my final post on How I Learned to Channel.

How I Learned to Channel, Part 1 of 4

Empyrean_smallFirst off, I have to say you can’t be alive without channeling, in the sense that you are more than a body combined with a set of experiences and genetic codes. There is a larger, more encompassing you, and this larger you knows itself as part of a larger, more encompassing Universe than what is typically perceived solely through physical perception.

One might describe it as channeling, i.e. bringing through, the aspects of the All, the Oneness, the Totality, that you came to present on the physical plane.

And these aspects may include a predisposition to consciously bring through, i.e. channel, a wider range of aspects, whether this be through the arts and/or channeled writing or speaking.

Don’t get me wrong – everyone has the potential to channel. And just as with any talent or skill, it does come more easily to some than others. And it can be learned and developed.

I didn’t come in “with the lights on,” so to speak. And though bits of psychic experiences did occur in my childhood, (not the dramatic kind, but more to do with precognition around, yes, food, and relationships), like most of us, I did not grow up in a society or setting that gave credence to the intuitive side of life.

It wasn’t until I was in my 30’s that this part of me opened up.

I was with a group of friends watching a videotape on interdimensional communication by university professor Heather Harder.

She was running in the 2000 U.S. presidential election and was motivated to create this video by the belief that if she got more people to learn that “talking to dead people” as she put it, can be normal and natural, her doing so wouldn’t seem so strange.

They were simple exercises, each begun with a brief, clear statement of intent, starting with sensing the energies of other people in the room, and leading up to channeled writing and speaking.

We paused the tape at each activity to practice, and all six of us found we were able to do each one, every time.

So I don’t think it’s so hard or impossible to learn. Yet I will say, I don’t think I could have done this too easily in my earlier life.
